Today I Am Tired
Today I am tired.
Strong winds blow
Like a voice in the night
Cutting through me like
A knife through flesh.
Today. I. am. tired.
My feet scrape forward
Like the grating of a
Steel ball dragging
Across concrete.
Today.. I.. am.. tired..
My knees lock and creak
Like a heavy oak door
On old rusty hinges
Slowly groaning open.
Today... I... am... tired...
My heart thumps in my chest
Like the slow beat of a drum
Making rhythm to my sacrifice
to this hell of a world.
Today..... I..... am..... tired......
My head droops low
Like the broken back
Of a once mighty stallion
Now weighed my its master.
Today............
I....................
Am................
Tired.............
